這遠比科幻電影還先進的感覺很恐怖啊...

"第六代戰機解決攜彈量不足的根本方法,是採用被稱為「忠誠僚機」的無人機。

簡單來說,就是配合第六代戰機一起作戰的無人機,能掛載更多的武器。由於一架第六代戰機,應該可以指揮多架無人機,而讓第六代戰機的攻擊火力增強數倍。更重要的是,無人機可以比傳統戰機更深入危險空域,執行偵察、電子干擾與火力支援等任務,不止讓傳統戰機的偵察與作戰範圍變的更遠,搭載飛行員的第六代戰機,也能在遠處安全地指揮作戰。"

"第六代戰機將不是單純的「一架戰機」,而是如同作業系統一樣會不斷升級的「平台」,不斷添加各種功能進去。無人機將利用「低成本可消耗性飛行器技術」的共享平台,快速開發出具備不同作戰能力的無人機,並安裝會持續學習的「空中博格」人工智慧系統。第六代戰機更將利用新科技賦予的快速設計、量產能力,在六到八年間,就開發出新一代的戰機。

因此美國空軍將領表示,第六代戰機可能具備不同的構型,包括有人的傳統式戰機、無人機,或是可自由選擇是否由飛行員駕駛的無人機,這一系列戰機將在最後視情況,決定是否量產。這也暗示了未來的美國空軍作戰部隊,可能是由少數幾架由飛行員操控的第六代戰機,指揮無人駕駛的第六代戰機,搭配更多的無人忠誠僚機,並在飛抵戰區上空後,釋放更多的小型無人機,做為整個攻擊機隊的外圍耳目。"

美國海軍開始找針對無人機武器研發的攜帶雷射武器,雷射槍這種科幻設定可能很快就會問世了⋯⋯

“A focused beam of light can quickly heat up a drone's exterior, inducing structural failure and causing it to crash into the ground. For a fixed-wing drone, that might mean burning one of the wings off. A laser could down a quadcopter-style drone by melting a plastic or metal arm supporting one of its propellers. A laser could also ignite a drone's liquid fuel supply or blind its optical sensors—especially those used by a human controller to guide it to a target.”

有種<霍爾的移動城堡>現實化的恐怖感... :ablobsweating:

"隨著人工智慧的快速發展,採用具備人工智慧的「無人載具母艦」,發射以人工智慧操控的無人載具,勢必成為下階段的關鍵方向。甚至隨著軍用無人地面載具的進步,接下來出現能自行接戰的機器人,這些都應只是時間早晚的問題。美國空軍日前才剛剛測試機械狗,而該公司還發展出配備自動機槍的機械狗。未來無人裝甲車搭載大批機械狗,自行駛入戰區,放出機械狗進行偵察或作戰,將不再只是電影情節,而是這種「無人載具母艦」概念的真實應用。

「以機械取代人力」這句話,即將逐漸成真。人類會在戰場上退居第二線,而將最危險的工作,交給無人機、無人船艦、戰鬥機器人,與搭載這些軍用戰鬥載具的智慧化母艦。這代表工業實力,將徹底決定戰場上的勝負,部隊規模的大小已不再重要。"

看到圖表裡各種大小用途不一的無人潛具, 越來越有科幻小說現實化的感覺... :ablobsweats:

[ Just this week, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday said that the service could begin incorporating large unmanned platforms into the fleet within the next five years. "In the long run, the goal is … to put ourselves in a position where we can scale those platforms and into the 2030s have unmanned in larger numbers available to the commanders," Gilday said, according to Breaking Defense. ]

米軍大型無人艦艇通過卅日無人維修巡航測試:

“The generator test was mandated by a congressional requirement inserted in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, directing the Navy to achieve the 720-hour test milestone before the Large USV could proceed into formal development. The congressionally directed testing included 100 hours of pre-testing before the 720-hour demonstration phase commenced. During the demonstration phase, no human intervention and no preventative or corrective maintenance on the equipment was allowed.”
